For serious bidders, a price of $600 to $700 is not surprising. That was a=

100 less. Mine is maybe 10 years newer than that one and I paid $800 for m=

These days, if I'd have to lug it from a basement, as that, I would include=

I have pretty much the same thing, maybe older. I paid $300 and felt I got =

Yep! And if your game, for $6 a month ($60/year) you can listen online to=
KBON 101.1 (The sauce picante of radio, they claim. LOL), especially on Sa=

$400 to $450 (maybe $500) minus any costs for removing it from the
basement. If I had to remove it, my max bid may be $200 - $250.
A fair market price is the price ($400 - $450) on a showroom floor,
ready to load (with seller help) into your truck.
If you do buy, check to see if the manuals are available. The owner
obviously kept everything in good order and I'd suspect he has the
manuals handy, also.

A PM Model 60 is $2K or greater new; for one in good shape half or less
of that isn't anything to feel badly about.
A third is robbery, moving or no imo (not that I'm against bargains and
at auction, stuff brings what it brings, but as far as value, it's
certainly worth well over $4-500 if that's what Sonny means).
If he means 4-500 under new, that's a little high for used equipment in
general but again, that's not to say it's not well worth the money as
far as utility, only that in general the supply is such the demand just
won't bring that.

It was a 1979 model, and it looked very nice having lived much of it's
life in a basement. Two guy bidded it up to $575 + 10% + 7% sales tax.
It would have been a pain to get it up the stairs too, not to mention
the rest of the trip.
I picked up some sharpening stones and 3 different kinds of 7' hardwood
boards.

LOL ... In my shop, Feufollet singing "Jolie fille" makes everything in
the shop easier to pick up. :)
